Does your state or branch have an inno­v­a­tive pro­gram that ben­e­fits women and girls? Apply online for AAUW’s new Break­ing through Bar­ri­ers Awards,and your pro­grams can get rec­og­nized, repli­cated, and rewarded.

Every two years, the Break­ing through Bar­ri­ers Awards will iden­tify three exem­plary branch pro­grams, as well as a select group of final­ists and hon­or­able men­tions that show­case the ways in which we are ful­fill­ing the AAUW mis­sion in our com­mu­ni­ties. Top awardees, final­ists, and hon­or­able men­tions will be hon­ored in the fol­low­ing ways:

·       Top three state/branch awardees will be announced at the 2011 AAUW National Con­ven­tion and will each receive a $3,000 cash prize.

·       Top state/branch final­ists will receive 2011 AAUW National Con­ven­tion reg­is­tra­tion dis­counts and an exhibit table at con­ven­tion to show­case their programs.

·       Top state/branch final­ists will be offered the oppor­tu­nity to have their pro­grams fea­tured as an AAUW Pro­gram in a Box on the AAUW website.

·       Top awardees, final­ists, and hon­or­able men­tions will receive recog­ni­tion in AAUW pub­li­ca­tions, web­site, and social media.

Don’t miss out on being rewarded for your suc­cess­ful state/branch pro­grams! For addi­tional infor­ma­tion about the awards, please e-mail leadership@aauw.org or call 800/326‑2289.
